It seems like the second block has been mined aswell looking at this : http://xtnodes.com/xt_blocks.php , when we are supposed to upgrade to XT though ? I know it's on January and stuff however do we need 75% nodes running or we need 750 block mined from 1000 750 blocks mined from 1000. Looong time to go... Funny thing, this two mined blocks won't even count. It dosen't make sense then , why would they said it should stay up for two weeks . If blocks are mined then it's done ... so why the wait of 2 weeks  or both nodes & mined blocks should be available You're not getting it. It's not done. 750 blocks must be mined in LAST 1000, to allow fork to happen. This two mined blocks won't even count, as the window of 1000 blocks is moving.

Aaannnd... we are in altcoin section! Even if it's valid bitcoin block, in main chain.
We are in the altcoin section because XT is an altcoin. It's fairly simple: Not so simple. That block is in The Blockchain, validated by all nodes, and we are just discussing version numbers.

I believe the version number for BIP101 is 4. But if that site only checks if it's higher than 3, then 536870919 fits as well, though not being an XT block. That's a theory, though.
Is it that hard to read the BIP 101, and then not talk this BS here?

BTC_ISTANBUL, you're in the wrong thread.

I see many statements from well known community members and core developers about present and future block size limits.
I do not see a lot of are statements from the largest mining farms.
I have heard Blockstream has been attempting to lobby some of these groups. Are there any links to statements from large mining farms?
LiteCoinGuy listed some in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1141086.0

I upgraded to Bitcoin Core 0.11 on Ubuntu MATE 14.04, but quickly went back to 0.10.2. New version of bitcoin-qt looks odd - small fonts, ugly icons. Is this something with new version of QT used? Also, program icon is not displayed in notification area when I closed the window. Had to end bitcoin-qt with system monitor.

... EDIT: oh and yes before the bitcoin lovers even go there, I pay a 10,000 Satoshi transaction fee for High Priority on all of my personal transactions I send. So lets not try the pay a bigger fee for faster transaction times.
10,000 satoshis is standard fee on my wallet (mycelium), not priority. If you want priority... yes, pay a bigger fee!

Also can I cancel my unconfirmed transaction somehow? Thanks
No. Once sent, you have no control on that transaction. It's like sending cash - you can't cancel while in delivery. Have to wait for confirmation, or double spend it if your wallet allows that, with higher fee. And in mycelium you can't set it higher than 0.0002. You can rebroadcast your stuck transaction, to speed up the propagation on the network, maybe will get to some miner faster. First go to blockchain.info and find your transaction ID, then add to the end on the address bar: ?format=hex (like https://blockchain.info/tx/8d3950c9db935a0a91fb075a1fcc3b627f28daf1f35252cb3ec9b8459070a0dc?format=hex) then copy hex string to https://coinb.in/#broadcast and submit.

... Another thing, my sent BTC keeps coming back to my wallet even though in blockchain.info it sits as an unconfirmed transaction. What's this all about?
Every node has its own pool of unconfirmed transactions. Once sent, you can't delete your transactions from other node's mempool. Your wallet calculated that transaction takes too long to confirm, and now allows you to use these same coins again in a new transaction (double spending). If some miner in the meantime confirms your previous transaction, your coins will be gone from your wallet.

On Mycelium, use normal (0.0001) or generous (0.0002) fee. For standard transaction that is 40 or 80 satoshis per byte. Will beat spammers, they are using 1 to 5 satoshis per byte.
|
|
|
OP, you're too cheap on fees. 1000 satoshis is 'economic' fee, and even without 200MB of spam, would take several hours to confirm. Next time, check this site https://bitcoinfees.github.io/, or http://bitcoinexchangerate.org/fees, and decide how fast transaction you want. Fees there are calculated per KB, a transaction of 1 input 2 outputs take about 250 bytes.

It's a transaction to remove spam transactions from full node's unspent UTXO cache. Long story: some spammer created thousands of spam transactions to bloat the network and the blockchain with outputs so small that spending would go all for fees. He then gave the private key of that address on reddit to fool with the bitcoiners there, but some guy created a script and swept the address. That way he removed all that small unspent spam UTXOs from full node's cache. (full nodes have to keep track of all unspent outputs. forever.) https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3cf6qg/need_help_moving_coins_to_new_address/

According to the latest status the BE300 is confirmed and working. However, to bring the chip to market requires FIXED COST + COST PER CHIP + BUILD OUT COST. The funding situation for this is dire and it would require a new investor or a big buyer who has to be certain that he gets what he is promised. There are two scenarios where this could be quickly achieved: a) A bitcoin price explosion would release dormant capital instantly shifting the reward/risk ratio. b) A new type of investor who enjoys preferred treatment over AM Shareholders for the financing of the BE300 tech. Likely implemented as a joint venture.
I will collect further questions via PM and answer them publicly. I am certain I missed a few important points in this post.

I think you yourself are either being fooled by whoever is/was running ASICMINER the last months or you are lying to us. This is bitcoin and we can (to some extent) see what amounts of money are controlled by this company. I'd like to invite everyone to take a look at the blockchain. We have proof that the address 1ERszMSERwHNR9Xty73KZXpsg1jjBXWcHh is controlled by friedcat. ( https://www.bikeji.com/t/1228, partial translation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833704.msg10717889#msg10717889). 1ERszMSERwHNR9Xty73KZXpsg1jjBXWcHh is an input of the following transaction: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/e63990fc8ff8d19479a93698ed7dfb1169221657431be51b485a58fb8941a6b1 The sender of this transaction is the owner to every private key to every input-address of this transaction. In other words: Friedcat is not only controlling 1ERszMSERwHNR9Xty73KZXpsg1jjBXWcHh but also 19iVyH1qUxgywY8LJSbpV4VavjZmyuEyxV and every other input address of the above transaction. Now 19iVyH1qUxgywY8LJSbpV4VavjZmyuEyxV is handling a whole lot of transactions. It is directly and indirectly exchanging with a few multi-signature addresses, which are most likely also controlled by friedcat and whose combined value exceeded 150,000 BTC at times. Definitely more than enough to produce large quantities of BE300 and definitely more than enough to pay AMHASH. I don't have the time right now to go into more details regarding blockchain-transactions and I don't think it's even necessary. What really is necessary right now is for someone responsible to clarify what friedcat was/is doing at 19iVyH1qUxgywY8LJSbpV4VavjZmyuEyxV and why he should be allowed to just vanish with all these funds? You got the 1ERsz... address wrong - AM mined directly to this address, but with all the transactions going on there, it looks like some exchange deposit address.

Stop repeating this 110nm BS, AM produced 40nm chip in 2014, BE200, and built mining hardware with that chip. To bild a 5PH/s mining farm with 110nm chip, BE100, you need: 5PH/s isn't BE100, that's retarded. That would be 16 million chips, 500,000 blades, ~50MW of power.

Pretty sure Phasebird is an official AM spokesperson on the forum?
He was acting as a sales contact, and for now is the only one posting here, that is known to work at AM.
